In the season one Halloween special of , Friday the 13th: The Series, titled “Hellowe’en,” cousins Micki and Ryan host a festive party at their inherited antique shop, Curious Goods. They hope the neighborhood gathering will help improve the store’s spooky reputation. However, the festivities quickly turn chaotic when two curious guests sneak into the basement vault and disturb a glowing crystal ball.
This action triggers a power outage and unleashes a thick, supernatural fog that forces the terrified partygoers to flee. Left alone in the dark shop, Micki and Ryan are confronted by the vengeful ghost of their late Uncle Lewis Vendredi, who has temporarily escaped the fires of Hell for the night.
Uncle Lewis offers his naive relatives a sympathetic sob story about his eternal suffering and leads them to a hidden room containing the preserved corpse of his late wife, Grace. He claims he wants to atone for his sins, but his true intention is entirely sinister. He tricks the cousins into giving him the Amulet of Zohar from the vault, a cursed artifact that grants his spirit a solid, physical form.
Armed with the amulet and aided by a demonic familiar, Lewis intends to sacrifice one of the cousins to permanently transfer his soul into a new, living body before dawn. Alongside their occult expert mentor, Jack Marshak, Micki and Ryan must outsmart the manipulative spirit and stall his dark ritual until the sun rises, which will forcefully drag Lewis back to the underworld forever.
